Etymology edit
Probably from written Chinese 肩胛骨 (jiānjiǎgǔ). The original sense in Chinese is unclear; it may have been shoulder blade, scapula, or it may have been more generally just shoulder bone.
First cited in Japanese in a medical dictionary from 1872.[1]
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
肩甲骨 • (kenkōkotsu) ←けんかふこつ (kenkafukotu)?
Usage notes edit
This was originally written as 肩胛骨. The more common modern spelling 肩甲骨 uses the slightly simpler character 甲 instead of 胛.
